Side mirrors not mounted symmetrically and other fun facts
I've driven, washed, and otherwise fussed over my car for over a year and never noticed this until now: driver and passenger side mirrors are mounted on different places on their respective doors. In retrospect, it makes total sense to ensure clear lines of sight, but I was amazed to stumble upon this nonetheless.
Any other quirky oddities lurking on our cars that you folks have found? I'm just curious more than anything else.

Why "quirky??? Many other cars have done the same thing for many years, some even have different size mirrors on each side, Mercedes-Benz for one.

Ed, that's funny, I just noticed the same thing a few weeks ago. I've had the car over a year.
Steering wheel not aligned with seat - now THAT's quirky! (I knew about that going in, and it doesn't seem to bother me.)
Oh, you want quirky? How about this: the engine is in the back!

DAMNT!! You are right! And all this time I just though the trunk on mine was rediculously tiny and really tough to keep clean (and dry). So... what's up front, the gas tank!?!?!?
